Sobre IBD

A writer and artist all her life, Jill Evans Petzall earned a BA in Philosophy and English Literature (Magna cum Laude) and an MA in Philosophy from Washington University in St. Louis. Known for casting a balanced light on social issues and subjects not often represented in mainstream media, she wrote and produced over forty award-winning documentaries that offer poetic and uncommon insights about human beings speaking within the grip of their daily lives. Always a strong supporter of causes that benefit women and children, she served as the chairwoman of the Square One Foundation.Jill modeled a fierce independence and courage to build a life according to one’s own vision. She was a photographer who found visual stories in the laundry of India and the mannequins of Southeast Asia. She was a jewelry maker who created dazzling pieces of wearable art. Her synesthesia meant she saw words and sounds as colors on the page. She played a mean hand of poker. She was one of few people in the world who loved anchovies on IMO’s pizza. She was 'allergic' to parsley and the color red.Jill began to publish years of her poems at the age of 77 in response to a recurrence of the cancer she’d survived twice before. She passed away in 2024 at the age of 82.In this collection of twenty-nine poems, she explores themes of mortality, love, and joy.Bliss / Body Time / For the Time.

  • Polishing the Silver
    Jennifer Chrystie
    ‘There’s a touch of both Dickinson and Larkin in Jennifer Chrystie’s mature exhumation of the tales and tropes of family. Figures who could so easily flit like phantoms in her well honed poetry are palpably enjoying an after-life in the poet’s ability to redeem through deep understanding. The collection arcs from, at one extreme, the parsimonies of the household, to the transce...

  • One Kiss
    Edward V Bonner
    The very title of Edward V. Bonner's first volume of poetry, One Kiss (Ingram, 2015), suggests some ways in which the poems inside balance the universal with the particular.
